Comment on PassMaster Hockey Passing Trainer Review by Kansurr

I got this passmaster, but when I use it with real pucks, on the ice. The puck often goes under the cord and the pucks get inside the triangle. Is there something I am missing? How did you do the band?

nice write up reggiedunlop. I agree with most of your points. But sometimes longer sticks makes all the difference in the world especially for defending. One or two inches can drastically effect your playing style.

The goalie on my team up here in canada has one at his house and trust me he has a rocket of a shot. Triggered me to buy one as well. Would highly recommend it.

This may be one of the most misleading guides I have read on stick length, but it is also the same common misleading knowledge that promotes bad hockey from a young age and is being spread by coaches like wildfire. While this websites’ efforts to spread hockey knowledge is commendable, I feel it necessary and as a coach, the right thing to do in further explaining my opening statement. While in one of the posts here, the HQ editor notes that stick length is preference, so then is the ability to play hockey well. A stick cut too long at a young age prohibits a player from developing an athletic posture, which in turn prohibits the ability to skate correctly. At one point in the history of hockey, defensemen were told to use long sticks for poke checking, but the real solution to getting your stick blade to that same area is developing better foot speed. This way, the defensemen’s body is also more likely the be positioned closer to the puck carriers which gives him the option of “puck or body” as coaches say. Physics also suggests a shorter stick being better for any player based on rotational force principals: it takes more force to control the stick blade at a distance further away from the point generating the force (in this case, the force is the shoulder). As stick length goes up, the force required to control the blade of the stick does as well. Whats more, the further away a players stick is from his line of vision, the more mental adjustment it takes to read where a pass to or from that stick will end up. As the pass distance grows, so does the variance angle required to read and adjust to the single point of interest to or from the stick blade. And to keep on going, for those of you spending 200+ on sticks and breaking the heal constantly, please consider a shorter stick. A long stick and a bunch of slap shots means a centralized point of force at the heal of the blade as it makes contact with the ice. Sacrifice one week of frustration with a shorter stick and the benefits in the long run will outweigh that frustration by tenfold. Good talk, see ya out there.

It’s no wonder your feet hurt. You are supposed to wear shoes and put the booties over them.
